carpe diem 2013 - 23

the last art gesture date came and went without me noticing

(oops my bad!)

but something so very special happened here at the creek yesterday
(and now because of my previous slackness
I get to celebrate the special event with a small arty gesture...)

Overnight one tired Honey Hound

gave birth to eight wee puppies

I celebrated their birth-day by creating a birthday hat

from a page from a biology textbook...

ps mum and all eight pups
(alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, pi, sigma & omega)
are doing just fine
